Preparing to TTC in 2022 part....7?!

[Dreamingof3]

Finally realised that our previous thread was full 🤣 I hope no one minds me starting up a new one!

Can you believe it's been almost a year since this was all started up?!

@Houseelf90 im not sure! I’ve heard of the POM pomegranate juice being good but otherwise I’m not sure!

@BethSuz27 thank you, I’ll pick some up this week! I’ve just had a Google too and found something (I think it’s likely to be rubbish but like you I’m willing to try anything) - that you need to keep your womb warm! It suggests lots of do’s and don’ts but 2 that stuck out for me were not letting your body get too cold, and not letting the soles of your feet get cold. I am ALWAYS cold!! Especially my feet!! So I am going to try and keep wrapped up warm, with thick socks and slippers permanently for the rest of winter now 🤣🤣

@Houseelf90 ooh! No harm in warm feet! I’m going to try the same! I’ve caved and bought the most gorgeous baby book from blush and gold on Etsy, I’m trying to stay super positive this month!

@Houseelf90 @BethSuz27 have also heard that about keeping the womb warm. Have also heard Brazil nuts recommended for implantation. Fingers crossed for you both and for everyone else trying.

@DesertSnow thank you! I’m definitely up for keeping warm! Not a fan of Brazil nuts so I’ll keep trying without, they will be a last resort for TTC naturally! X

AF due tomorrow! I’m not holding out much hope given my BFN at 11dpo and AF usually arrives on 13dpo! We will see!

giving everything to cycle 11 if it does come!!

Today is apparently ovulation day according to my Clue app so I guess it's the TWW for me, for cycle 3! Will DTD next few days just in case... it's been every night for 7 nights running 🤣 due AF on 19th Jan, will start testing on the 15th I think.

With this being the 3 month mark, if unsuccessful this month I can feel this being the tipping point into starting to stress, and worry it might not happen. Logically or not. 3 months seems reasonable, longer than that seems more nerve inducing to me. Fingers crossed all.

Howdy all!

CD11 and my OPK was quite dark considering I took it just before midnight. Hoping a positive is not too far away 🤞

Hope everyone is doing well x

AF came as expected! Surprisingly hasn’t phased me this time, not feeling down! Maybe 11 months in is the point where you get immune to it 😂 soooo here we go… cycle 11! 2 months before we go above average!!

got my bfp this morning still in shock this month we dtd every second to third day the whole cycle I have long cycles so ovulate at different times

@krissy12 Congrats! What a lovely start to the year. How many cycles were you trying?

@Bananatoast123 Sorry to hear AF came but glad to hear you're not feeling too down about it. You're one cycle closer to your baby!

@DearieMeWhatsUp Sounds like you have yourself covered. But if it isn't this cycle, try not to be too disheartened. So many things have to align for it to be successful, and 12 months is normal.

@krissy12 amazing, congrats on your BFP! I know you have been on the threads for a while, so please for you. Good strong line as well! How many dpo do you think you are?

@Bananatoast123 so sorry AF arrived but glad you're not feeling too sad! I was the same when AF came this time, totally expecting it and didn't feel as sad somehow.

thank you @DesertSnow and @LucyLoopyLu . I honestly i have no idea for definite @LucyLoopyLu I have really long irregular cycles my last period was 16th Nov! but I have been testing regularly and last weekend was still negative was expecting today's to be to. I'm assuming must be about 14-18 DPO if I had a negative recently.

@krissy12 congratulations! We are doing that method this month too, however as I’m using the purple ovulation tests we are going to do it every day that we get a smiley and then continue every 2-3 days once I’ve ovulated just to be certain :)

Congratulations @krissy12 that’s a great line!!

Good luck @BethSuz27

thank you @Houseelf90

Congratulations @krissy12!

Glad work was okay @Houseelf90 and about the EPU and offer of counselling. Good to know the option is there is you need it.

We’ve both been feeling a bit better the past few days and we ended up DTD twice so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

@Welshgal85 thank you! Fingers crossed for you! How many dpo are you?
I feel like AF is on the way 😩 I have sore nipples and bad cramps in my lower abdomen. 11 days early but I think the first cycle after a chemical can be messed up (although last time AF arrived bang on 28 days after I started bleeding with the chemical). Can’t say I’m upset if AF does arrive though, onto the next cycle sooner!

@Houseelf90 Sounds like it may be on the way then, but at least brings you closer to the next cycle!

Not sure how many days DPO I am as didn’t do OPK’s this month. But think I’m a few days maybe. Just going to wait and see how it goes now! Last month I had a really unusual cycle and not my usual AF or period pains but not sure why.

@Welshgal85 nothing yet, which is odd for me after cramps have started, it usually arrives pretty soon, so no doubt my body playing more tricks on me!!

CD15 and I've been bleeding since yesterday. At first I assumed it was spotting, but it's turned red so maybe not. I'm not sure why it's doing this now since the Metformin had stopped the odd bleeding for the last 6 months? Hopefully it's an odd short cycle rather than the crazy bleeds starting again 🤞

Congratulations!! That is so dark!! Twins?!

@PinkButtercups ahh I don't think I could cope with 3 under 3!

Finally got my high fertility smiley on my clearblue! Now just the worry I won’t ever get a peak fertility! CD12 now and so far dtd CD7, and 11, and now trying every day we have a smiley 😃

how is everyone doing?
